Laws against identity theft?

Question

I'm doing this for a project. I tried searching for it on the internet and I've got this book from the school library that doesn't help much. It's a Criminal Manual, 1995. I know there are such laws, but I can't find them. Umm, Canadian law, and the consequences for stealing others' identity, though I'm not sure if this varies from province. Thanks!

Thanks arus.geo for answering, but I asked my history teacher, who at the same time teaches law for university preperation level, she told me to look under fraud, theft and invasion of privacy
